COMBINED MAN E COMB AND BRUSH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No 659,172, dated October 2, 1900.

Application filed June 5 1899.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRISTINE HUB, born HAHN, a citizen of the Empire of Germany, residing at Triers, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Mane Comb and Brush, of which the following is aspecification.

My present invention relates to a combined comb and brush for manes of horses or the like, the object being to provide a comb of this kind to which a brush is removably secured and may be readily interchanged in accordance with the nature of the manes or the peculiar case in which the implement is employed.

The improvements consist in the construction, novel combination, and arrangement of parts fully described hereinafter and specially pointed out in the appended claim.

In order that this my invention may be more readily understood and carried into effect or practice, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows an elevation of the improved comb with the brush removed therefrom. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the invention in its connected form. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the broken line a: 00 of Fig. 2.

Like letters refer to like parts throughout all the figures.

Referring to the drawings, the comb is composed of a series of pins or teeth I), the free ends 0 of which are bent, as shown in Fig. 3, the other ends of said pins or teeth being suitably secured in a common plate or equivalent a, provided with a handle a. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a guide-frame, which is open on Serial No. 719,487. (No model.)

one side, is secured to said pins or teeth I), the horizontal and vertical bars d cl? of said frame being provided with suitable grooves in which may slide the correspondingly ribbed back 6 of a brush f. The latter may be provided with rings '10, by means of which the device may be hung on a hook or the like.

In operation the special form of the pins or teeth allow of perfectly and uniformly draw ing the comb through the mane-hair, and after the combing operation the device may be returned-for the use of the brush. When the mane-hair requires the use of a smoother or harder brush, the requirement may be readily complied with in removing the brush and substituting anothfer therefor.

Changes in the arrangement and minor details of construction may be made without departing from the scope or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'

In a combined mane comb and brush, a'plurality of bars bent at one end to form teeth and secured at their other ends in a suitable plate, a guide-frame secured to the back of said bars and to said plate, said frame having grooves therein, and a brush having a back provided with tongues adapted to slide in said grooves and in the guide-plate, substantially as set forth.

CHRISTINE HUB, BORN HAHN.
